[illumos-gate] 16644 tools libscf should not depend on libzonecfg.h -- Robert Mustacchi <rm⊙fo>

thanks rm

nice:)

papertigers: but not via zfs dataset property sharesmb="name=myshare". Or do I?

I guess ntpd and chrony should not / must not be run in (lx) zones?

unixery: you can also use sharemgr(8) to create shares for non-delegated datasets

and correct.. a zone gets it's time from the global zone, so that's where you want to run ntp

hrm.. has anyone gotten cell modems to work with illumos?

unixery: yea as jbk points out you can use sharemgr

that's what I have done for my zone acting as a timemachine end point

my vague recollection from decades past is that you use ppp + some custom AT commands to 'dial' the service, but (at the time) wasn't really well documented

cell modems!? huh.....

yeah

basically so you can use data over cell network

yea, I remember what the modems were:D

the illumos VM i do most of my work is on my home server, which is tied to my normal internet provider (comcast)... except they've been down since Monday morning (hurricane) with no ETA for restoration (and not the first time they've had problems.. last summer it was out for like a week)

right now I can tether my laptop to my cell phone, but then I can't access my home network where the VM is

so it'd be nice to have a backup

Doesn't VZW sell a 'home internet connection' type thing?

better yet, a non-denomination device like netgear.com/home/mobile-wifi/routers/lax20

nomad: there are a bunch of such devices out there. my comcast business service bundles a Cradlepoint wireless backup which is not well integrated with the rest of their service but would be just what jbk needs at the moment. would do double-NAT through the cable modem in normal operation which you're better off without..

but that's just a me thing.

jbk I run my NTP servers as sparse zones - in line with running the bare minimum in the GZ. It works fine, with the right couple of extra privileges.

It's a pity you don't have a wifi-client-to-ethernet. You could use the wifi client to tether to your cell phone, and then use THAT to plug into an ethernet switch (which can have a wifi AP even).

I have a huawei lte usb modem here but it needs "NCM" support and we only have "ECM" and I never found the time to work on that

Somewhere deep in my electronics drawers is such a wifi-client-to-ethernet. I think it's so old, however, that it won't speak to my phone even if I needed it.

yay.. internet just came back

of course, as someone who worked on desktop software in the wobbly windows days, I'm just waiting for Hurricane Compiz to come next, and eventually merge with Hurricane Beryl

booo

:P

though i discovered the head of the grid operator here came from pg&e... which explains a lot
